This is the method for it. Rinse fish and pat dry. Cut into bite sized (1/2 inch pieces) and set aside. In a small skillet sauté bacon until crisp. Remove bacon, blot excess fat with paper towels, crumble and set aside. Discard bacon dripping except for approximately 2 tablespoons. It is really amazing and outstanding.
